However, there are plenty of scary costume options out there for you if you want to get spooky! The beauty of Halloween is that you can pretty much be whatever you want. And if you want to be a vampire that’s more scary than the vamps in Twilight, you’ve come to the right place. I’m not a fan of sparkly vampires (sorry!), but I’m more into the True Blood and The Vampire Diaries variety. They actually look fierce, which is exactly what this look is.

This look is not hard, but it takes some patience so make sure you give yourself enough time to do it! Check out your foolproof guide to becoming a scary vampire this Halloween!

You Need: A Powder Brush

I'm using white eye shadow in this tutorial for my face, but you can use a lighter shade face powder if you have it.

Create A Messy Smokey Eye

Use Black Shadow On Your Lower Lashline

Use your small shadow brush or a Q-Tip to apply black shadow right under your lashes. Blend it out.

Add Red Shadow Outside The Black

This really amps up the creepy factor. Red shadow can be hard to find so you can use a dark pink or even blush here instead.

Apply Underneath Your Eye As Well

Basically, you want to trace a red line around the black eye shadow you have down.

Blend, Blend, Blend

Using your blending brush, carefully blend out the red to fade it. You can also blend it into the black to make it look more seamless.

Apply Silver Shadow To Your Inner Corner

This is really going to brighten up this dark look. Apply silver shadow to the inner third and corner of your eyes.

Apply Liner And Mascara

Use black eyeliner along your top lid. You can do a cat eye if you like. Then add a generous amount of mascara.

Apply Red Lipstick

You can finish this look off with red lipstick and call it a day. Or...

Add Some Fake Blood

I drew some dripping blood with my lipstick. You can use fake blood if you want, but I wanted to do this tutorial with things I already had.

Give Yourself Some Bite Marks

Using eyeliner, I drew two bite marks and then added lipstick for blood. If you want to throw in some fangs, go for it. But a lot of vampires have retractable fangs and I have sharp teeth so I didn't think I needed them!

Scare Everyone

Take a lot of filtered pictures, sneak up on people and act like you're going to bite them. (Don't actually bite them.)
